Texas A&M-USC matchups cancelled

Texas A&M athletic director Eric Hyman told the Houston Chronicle that because of the uncertainty of the SEC schedule, the school cancelled scheduled games against USC.

In 2009, the Aggies scheduled the home-and-home games with the Trojans to be played in 2015 and 2016. However, Texas A&M's move from the Big 12 to the SEC forced the Aggies to reconsider their nonconference schedule.

"Having switched from the Big 12 to the SEC, we've had to scrub our whole schedule -- throw it almost out," Hyman said. "Going forward, we've had conversations with people, but we really can't be contractually (obligated) until the conference says you've got the green light."

Texas A&M is still scheduled to play Oregon in 2018 and 2019.

Hyman also told the Chronicle that the Aggies would schedule a "lower-level BCS game" and then "a game from a national standpoint."
